Finding quality makeup products in Kigali isn’t easy, because we don’t have stores with variety of makeup brands in Kigali, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find quality makeup at affordable price in Kigali.

If you are planning to became a makeup artist, and you are wondering what are the essential makeup products to put in your makeup kit and where to grab them in Kigali or outside of Rwanda at an affordable price I got you.

A concealer I would recommend to beginner is the Elf camo concealer & la girl pro concealer, la girl pro concealers are known as the most popular concealer especially for medium to dark skin tone, most makeup artist have been using this concealer in the past, it’s lightweight, easy to blend and above all it’s affordable.

On the other side, if u want a concealer which is affordable and work like high end brand concealer, pick the elf camo concealer, this full-coverage liquid concealer covers up blemishes and under-eye circles while delivering a boost of hydration to your skin. The lightweight, blendable formula corrects and perfects giving you a smooth, satin, crease-resistant finish.
